FAQs about SSc2 :

Is my site previously developed?

What exactly does LEED mean by residential neighborhood or area?

Only a portion of my complying residential development lies within the ½-mile radius. Will this suffice for credit compliance?

Where do I draw the radius from?

Is one building or residential area enough to satisfy the residential density requirement?

My project has access to services that seem to be basic, but are not listed in the LEED Reference Guide—like insurance company, nail salon, auto repair shop. Will these count?

My project is on a base or campus where some services are available to the population of the project, but not the general public. Do these count?

For Option 2, does the residential neighborhood with average density of 10 units per net acre have to be existing, or can planned neighborhoods count towards earning this option?

What site area should be used for an interiors project when figuring out the density radius? The building site area, or building footprint?

Hello Fellow LEEDUsers, I am about to submit LEED docs for preliminary review. I just want to ask if we are using Option 1 Development Density, how can we prove the integrity and accuracy of numerical figures entered in Table SSc2-1 (e.g. building square footage and site areas), as I'm only attaching satellite map showing the density radius with property names/identifiers as required? Thanks in advance, Eric

Eric - Google Earth offers a free tool to draw and measure shapes on top of the map. I've used this in the past to estimate the square footage and areas of buildings and sites. I'd simply add some narrative about how you arrived at your estimates for those buildings. Seems like a reasonable approach.
